Heavy Squat day. Testing my max before a 20% weight reduction in programming. Worked up to 315, this is my 2nd attempt at 305, first one I didn't think I hit depth on. Weight was moving quick and felt good. My next goal is 405.

day 254. new squat PR of 145kg/320lbs! at my last powerlifting meet in 2016 I missed my last squat attempt at 314lbs. I remember feeling so much regret and constantly replayed the squat to see where it went wrong. I never imagined that I would beat it later, as a converted weightlifter squatting high bar. I have one more heavy squat day next week, and the goal is to get as close to 150kg as possible. #sandbagger@hviiibrandgoods@earthfedmuscle

1st place, and another nationals qualification. I have to be honest, I walked into this a little too confident. I made mistakes and under performed. The runner up, @stephenjsiebert , came after me with a vengeance. His performance improved dramatically since the last time we competed. I was beyond impressed, and honestly, he made me extremely nervous. The difference in placing came down to one rep on the last event. It definitely wasn’t a boring day. I have to keep training hard because I know Steve is going to continue to improve at a ridiculous rate. Thanks to @team_tom_gym for the great event. Thanks @iron_warrior_strongman for letting me hang out with them; awesome group of people. And of course a huge thanks to my wife for being massively supportive throughout my training and the event. I couldn’t do it without her. I’ll post videos tomorrow. #strongman#lightweightstrongman#deadlift#cleanandjerk#atlasstones#farmerswalk#powerlifting#crossfit#nationalsbound?

for months and months now ive been telling myself that "no you cant do two plates!" or "its been a while since you squatted heavy you cant hit that!" or "your gonna hurt yourself"or anything just to get in my head but last week i literally told myself Fuck it im either hitting two plates early next month or this saturday and i did! yes i know its not that heavy for other people but to me its been my goal i wanted to hit two plates since last year but ive been holding off but finally i realized that the only thing that was standing in my way was my damn self! to any one thats out there thats struggling JUST FUCKIN DO IT! 💪🏻 you got it!

This really made my day. I’m surrounded by people who share the same passion as I do. My @selfmadetrainingfacilitymv family makes it easy for me because they are willing to listen and learn. It’s amazing to see them absorb the information, then apply it. The moment that you become close minded, you stop learning and life passes by you. I don’t know everything, but I will do everything in my power to help my @selfmadetrainingfacilitymv family. This is what separates @selfmadetrainingfacility from other facilities. The partnership between the trainers and owners. If they don’t succeed, we don’t succeed. We create a culture and camaraderie unlike no other. #thatslowgrind
